I can't seem to duplicate your problem no matter what I try.

I can only suggest updating to version 1.0.7 to see if that cures the problem. If that doesn't do it, then I'll need to know what version of VB you're running so I can see if I can duplicate it in that version.

Thankyou for your quick update, This mod is almost perfect for me now,

If I was being picky I would say the only thing that is lacking is it would be nice to be able to display the time the draw will take place not just the date

Your support and response to feedback has been superb so far,

Thanks again,

After installing the newest updated version when trying to enter the raffle members are getting a message must enter the raffle one or more times? Any help would be appreciated.

My members are getting a white screen when trying to enter a raffle since the upgrade.

They are still added to the raffle but they get white screen on firefox.

On chrome they get message

The website encountered an error while retrieving /raffles.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

help please :)

Great mod
work in 4.0.4?

If the raffle was already running when you installed the newest version, edit the raffle and set the entries in time period to 1.

I tested this in Firefox and the redirect screen comes up. I'm not sure what is happening, but I will look for the problem.

EDIT: Fevredsuk.. thank you for the info on Chrome, that pointed me in the right direction. I should have a fix out sometime today.

This is a completely new Raffle since upgrading to the newest version. Can you tell me if I am not using any of the vbucks and all those new payment methods you put into the update will I still be able to just conduct a free just click enter no posting points blah blah blah needed to enter? Your 1.0.5 version did not have any register issues not sure If I am doing something wrong?

If you're not using any of the credit systems, you can still run a free raffle just like in the original versions. That is the first thing I test with each change.

I'll be uploading version 1.0.8 very soon. I can only suggest installing that version and see if the problem persists. If it does, send me a PM with all of the settings for your raffles (raffle settings and the raffle itself) and your site address so I can see what is happening.

I have no way of testing 4.0.4.

You can try installing it and let us know if it works or not. ;)

sorted Thanks

Work work work :D

Guest don't see the raffle?

If you mean unregistered/not logged in, you need to allow them to see it. Check banned usergroups in Raffle settings.

don't have banned usergroups in Raffle settings, and I set unregistered between allowed user groups for every single raffle :(

Sorry, my brain wasn't working properly. I just got up and hadn't had my morning coffee yet. ;)

An unregistered member can not enter a raffle. They don't have a userid number that can be attributed to a name.

I believed unregistered member can enter a raffle :)
I see in other forum is possible but use vB 4.1.3
can possible enter link of that forum or is forbidden?

I've seen links to other sites here. So, I don't think it's a problem.

But, the ability to enter an unregistered user into the raffle using my add-on is not possible. There is no provision for an unregistered member to enter their name and other needed information.

this is link

OK, I see what the problem is.

You don't want them to be able to enter the raffle, you want them to be able to see it.

Give me a few minutes and I'll post the fix.

wow :D

OK, download version 1.0.9 and just upload the files to your server. There's no need to run the install xml again for this fix.

One other thing, you don't want them included in the members allowed to enter the raffle. So take them out of that setting.

They will still be able to SEE the raffle, but they won't be allowed to ENTER it.

I uploaded only raffles.php
Oh guys work 100%
Many many Tank you :)

I mentioned earlier on this was similar to one I had custom coded for me when I was on vb 3.8.x

Since I have it enabled currently on my site, you can check it out here: http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/ne...event-win.html

You might get some ideas from it.

what is the law on having a raffle on your website?.

Unless you are selling the raffle tickets for money, and then having the raffle, it is fine. If you are selling the raffle tickets for money, you should check your local laws.
For example, I have one similar to this modification here: http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/ne...event-win.html

Actually this statement is not true. Even "Free" contests and raffles can be subject to local laws. It all depends on where you are located AND where the member entering the contest or raffle is located.

This is why I provide a disclaimer and strongly recommend that people check with an attorney before running any raffles.

The sample rules included with this add-on are actual rules used by the site that originally specified what they were looking for in this add-on. They can not be considered proper for all sites, but are provided as a starting point to demonstrate that what some people might think is legal, may not actually be legal.

wow.. thanks for the heads up ;)

I just updated to ver# 1.11 and now am getting a SQL error when I click on the register link.

Also it no longer shows on my Sidebar?

The problem is in the UPLOAD FILES v.1.11
If I use the Upload Files from a previous version, the error goes away.

Also, It still doesn't show in my Side Bar. It did when first installed and disappeared shortly afterwords.

Thank you. Fixed in 1.1.2.

If active raffles aren't showing in your sidebar, check to be sure that "Show Raffles in Forum Sidebar" in Raffle Settings is set to 'Yes'.

Also go to Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager -> Active Raffles -> Edit and check that Active is also set to 'Yes' there.

And one other place, check Options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options and make sure Enable Forum Sidebar is set to 'Yes'.

The requirements for the sidebar to show are
1) Sidebar must be turned on in vBulletin itself.
2) Active Raffle block must be turned on in Forum Blocks Manager (set to on by default when installed)
3) Raffles must be turned on.
4) Side bar must be turned on in Raffle Settings.
5) Member must not be in a group that is banned from using the raffle system.

If none of that works, try disabling the Everywhere Sidebar mod and see if it shows then. If it does, it's a problem with that mod.

Disabling the Everywhere Sidebar Mod resolved the issue... Thanks

ive been having a problem with this ever since i updateted to 1.0.7 the fourm block stopped working it always says no active raffles ever when i have them can some one help me? and ive have followed the above guide and i dont have the everywhere side bar mod

Try deleting the Active Raffle block from Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager and then re-install the add-on (product-raffles.xml) in the Product Manager in AdminCP and be sure 'Allow Overwrite' is set to 'Yes'.

That will re-create the block.

Then make sure everything is set as described in the above post.

Also make sure you're using the correct date format when creating raffles. The format is MM/DD/YYYY, not DD/MM/YYYY

Having issues creating databases in 112 says they do not exist! using VB CMS 4.1.3

Suggestion;
The possibility to add the option of a photo in the Raffle's sidebar?

For others that might read this, I'm not ignoring this problem. I am working with CoZmicShReddeR via PM to correct the problem. I think we've narrowed it down and will release a minor update if the test remedy works.

The problem seems to be that MySQL 5.5.8 no longer recognizes the TYPE command. It was replaced by ENGINE with no backwards compatability.

You've got it in 1.1.3. :D

everything is working fine on the latest version of VBulletin. However can you implement a way where they can purchase the tickets before they can join the raffle?

Thank You!
This will really make it stick out!
